Thanks CK! Hopefully it will actually be gone by Christmas if DH gives me the money from his savings that we've agreed, got to keep him sweet so he doesn't change his mind 🤣

Well, DH is safely home and passed his grading so he is now a three Dan (black belt plus 3x Dans). They're having a celebration around Christmas at a hotel where they'll have a little awards ceremony. Told DH I'm happy with him going if he would like to, he can stay in the hotel it's in and we'll already be off work for the Christmas break, so it won't cost him any holidays. If we weren't looking at paying off the mortgage and saving for a new house, I would look for a cottage nearby, so me and the dogs could go as well, but hey ho, maybe next time.

I've done another two loads of washing today and everything is set for going back to work tomorrow. I'm still feeling pretty pooped from this cold, although my throat and bunged up nose are nearly all better. Poor DH is suffering as his came on a few days after mine, so he's in the worst of it. Told him to call in sick at work if he needs to, no point going and not being able to do anything as you can't concentrate for feeling rotten. He'll see how he feels in the morning.

Payday is on Friday, so I'm looking forward to that.
The In-laws are coming on Saturday and we're going out for a meal. I can't say I'm looking forward to it. If you've read my diary for a while, you'll know me and m-i-l are not the closest and they have forgotten our anniversary again this year, only been married 2 years and they've forgotten on both occasions. DH says its because m-i-l has been in Africa on safari which is fair enough but f-i-l hasn't, he got left at home and considering m-i-l has been posting photos of her safari everyday on face ache, a message to DH wouldn't have been difficult. I think it makes me mad because DHs sister and husband get a card and gifts and a huge social post on face ache, I'm sure his brother will get all that too when his first anniversary comes around next year, so it feels like DH gets left out, which he seems to a lot, mainly because he decided to be with me 😔 

Oh well, nowt as queer as folk as they say and let's face it, they're the ones missing out, they're missing out on what their son is upto and I am an absolute delight! 😅
